Sadly it seems most Americans don't see.... or can't bring themselves to see.... that our service men and women are fighting and dying because of the almighty dollar!
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, even Tony Blair and others have a financial interest in businesses that will profit from Iraq.
I hope people like you and I continually asking these questions will push other Americans to ask why.....!!
Let's hope!
